Career
Loria is known for having scored a spectacular bicycle kick from the edge of the penalty area against Chievo while playing for Atalanta.[citation needed]
He began his career at Juventus, club giant of his hometown Turin. After graduation from youth teams, he spent 5 seasons in Serie C1 and Serie C2. In mid-2002, he was signed by Cagliari of Serie B. He quickly became a regular starter and contributed to the team's promotion to Serie A in summer 2004. In his first Serie A season, he played 20 matches. At the end of season, he joined Atalanta, a club which had just been relegated to Serie B. He won the Serie B championship with the club and played in Serie A again.
In July 2007, he signed a 4-year contract with Siena.[1]
Roma
Loria completed a transfer to Roma from Siena along with his teammate Artur Moraes on 25 June 2008[2] in an exchange deal which saw Roma goalkeeper Gianluca Curci move to Siena in a co-ownership deal and Roma midfielder Ahmed Barusso move on loan to the Tuscan based club. Daniele Galloppa, owned by both Roma & Siena, also became an exclusively Siena player as a part of the deal. He signed a 3-year deal and he was valued €2.8 million.
After disappointing performances, Loria was loaned to Torino which recently sold Cesare Natali on 6 July 2009.[3] During 2010–11 Serie A Loria spent most of his time on the bench or even the stands until the classic match against Inter. Substituting Jérémy Menez in the second half he scored the (temporary) 4-3, his second goal for Roma.[4]
Bologna
He moved to Bologna in July 2011. He scored his first goal for Bologna on October 30, against Atalanta. Bologna won 3:1.
